This original, witty, illustrated study, now available for the first time in paperback, offers the first analytical history of the rise and development of literary tourism in nineteenth-century Britain, associated with authors from Shakespeare, Gray, Keats, Burns and Scott, the Bronte sisters, and Thomas Hardy. 'absorbing, well-researched and informative' - The Yorkshire Post 'exceptionally accessible and entertaining' - Samantha Matthews, TLS 'Watson has produced a book likely to interest readers in both the literary and tourist domains' - Stuart Hannabuss, Library Review 'Eminently readable and no doubt of interest to a broad audience, The Literary Tourist will prove the first reference for Victorianists interested in the ways nineteenth-century readers linked books to places and made literary landmarks the center of the British heritage industry.' - Paul A.
